Windows 10 corrupting USB drives

Update 08/04/17: It’s been almost 48hrs and I have hammered the hell out of this machine. Connecting, rebooting, disconnecting, reading, writing, erasing, swapping drives in and out of the raid box and not one single issue.

So, same exact laptops, swap the drives and the memory… problem solved. It had to be a hardware issue. Whether it was a bad USB port, something set wrong in the BIOS or something else related I can’t be sure.

@bigbadwolf_1 so I’m running win 10 Pro on a pretty hardcore desktop and I’ve experienced the same issue on multiple external drives now. These are USB 3.0 G-Tech 10TB drives so they aren’t green nor slow by any stretch but all of the drives have become corrupted and lost folder hierarchy at some point. The data is there but has to be recovered.

I came across your article searching for others with the same issue, I’m on Windows build 1709, 8700K processor, 32 GB @ 4Ghz with 960 M.2 so the system is fast enough to take on about any multiple tasks but don’t understand why when the system is running and the drives are connected right do I still get a buffering issue on my connected Xbox X device.

But back to the point, I am experiencing the same issue on a desktop with all measures of hibernation and power settings disabled so WTH is the issue?

I realize this is an older article but this is the only one that I came across with the same issues I am experiencing almost a year later and several builds of Plex and Windows software versions later?
